CVE-2026-77271

MCP Atlassian: Incomplete path traversal fix allows intra-CWD module overwrite and RCE (bypass of CVE-2026-27825)

Published Sep 22, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
MCP Atlassian is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Atlassian products (Confluence and Jira). Prior to 0.22.0, validate_safe_path defaults its base directory to os.getcwd(), and affected Confluence attachment call sites omit base_dir, allowing attacker-selected writes within the working directory. This Python module overwrite can provide code execution when the application later imports the modified module, bypassing the remediation tracked as CVE-2026-27825. This issue is fixed in version 0.22.0.
